Jamie’s Allotment Cottage pie - celeriac substitute?!

[MadMadamMim123]

Planning on making this for Sunday lunch tomorrow, but despite trying THREE supermarkets, couldn’t get any celeriac!!

Any suggestions on a substitution please?

Is it just for the topping instead of potato? Maybe parsnip, sweet potato or swede (or a mix of these).

I don't know the recipe but potato? Squash? You should be able to replace it with anything firm

Just looked at recipe and see for one of veg in the bottom . Would suggest parsnip.

Thanks, it's for the filling so has a mash potato top... the filling already has swede and leeks in so I'm leaning towards butternut squash... but I'll admit I've not had celeriac before so just worried with the swede it might be too sweet

Turnip or swede

I’d sub celery and parsnip. I doubt it’s absolutely vital if it’s part of the overall meat mix. It’ll still taste lovely.

Cool thanks for the suggestions everyone

Go easy on the cumin seeds too. I made that dish and it tasted like curry pie.

You may have already checked, but I went through a phase of eating loads of celeriac last year, and the only supermarket that stocked it was Tesco

Thanks for the cumin tip ooh I might manage a trip to Tesco in the morning then! Thanks!!

Large Sainsburys normally has it
